Elrond is twelve weeks old and part of the Lord of the Rings litter, listed as a medium-sized mixed-breed puppy. Like most puppies, he starts off a bit cautious but settles in quickly and shows his sweet, affectionate side—with plenty of puppy sass mixed in. Elrond has spent time socializing with other dogs. He’s a bit hesitant around bigger ones at first, though he warms up fast. He barks at the resident cat from behind the pen, but the cat teases him, so it’s a playful back-and-forth. He hasn't met children yet. Elrond is motivated by food, which should make training straightforward. Given his age, adopters should be ready to work on potty, crate, leash, and basic obedience training. He's current on core vaccines and preventatives. Elrond is being fostered on the east side of Madison. Fun fact—he was born on February 14, which makes him an Aquarius, known for being curious and unique! Ready to meet your new best friend?
